We invite you to join the Workshop on Advanced Biomedical Applications of MRI, taking place on 3 November, starting at 10:00 a.m. The workshop is dedicated to both the fundamental principles and advanced applications of magnetic resonance imaging in biomedical research.
Led by Prof. N. Jon Shah and Dr. A.M. Oros, the session will cover key topics such as the basics of MRI, diffusion and functional MRI, quantitative and metabolic imaging, as well as clinical applications, emerging research directions, and potential PhD project ideas.
The event is open to students, doctoral researchers, academics, and all those interested in the role of MRI in contemporary biomedical science.
